Quest: Finding Freddie by Thomas Richard Spradlin is a spectacular and interesting nonfiction work that makes a person question how much a life is worth and just how dark humanity can be. The sole viewpoint is that of Richard Spradlin, as he takes the audience on a quest to locate the spouse of his law firm's client and all the drama it entails. So get ready to read about the dangers of a turbulent country, friendships strengthened through stressful situations, and the importance of appearance.

Some of the best things I enjoy about this book are the tidbits of thought that can be quite entertaining and the annotations at the end of the chapters to help with understanding the situation in them. I like how the chapters are formatted in a way that makes you feel like you're watching a movie, combined with the fact that some scenes are very detailed, which leaves you enthralled as you pass the time. I also like how literary devices such as dialects are used to portray different cultures.

One thing I dislike about the novel is that some main points are repeated, though they do fit in with this story type. That being said, it does not take away from the quality of an immersive reading. The grammar and editing throughout are great. In summary, this is a delightful work of nonfiction that has a couple of bumps but is nonetheless good.

In conclusion, I would rate Quest: Finding Freddie five out of five stars. The book is enjoyable, informative, and edited well enough to keep a person immersed in the story. Although there are a few small errors here and there, it deserves five stars. I recommend this tale to readers who like nonfiction, specifically about hostage negotiations, spy operations, and detailed exposition on important things.
